Still alive…

I am still alive, just busy getting on with the normal day to day. Not had any time for projects as of late.
Maybe soon I will start up again and finish MassMail and add host edit back to the site.

MassMail Close To Complete

MassMail is now very close to complete.

In the next few week before chrismas I hope to release a version.

Almost back up to full swing

Everything is nearly back to the way it was before the server dive. All of the public issues should now have been sorted, but please let me know if you find any problems.

Server Issues

We are experiencing some server issues, please bare with us.

MassMail 2.0.0.0 Coming Soon

Soon I will be releasing MassMail V2. The new version has had a full overhaul. From Html editors, to better recipient handling MassMail V2 has it all.

Here is a taste of things to come.

Windows 7 – Dedication

I have created a section on the site for Windows 7. I plan to share the thing I have learned as I go with 7.

So far I am buzzing, I have even stopped using my Linux and OSX installations.

Windows 7: More Happy is coming..

More happy is coming!

That’s right the wait is almost over. Actually I have been running Windows 7 x64 and x32 on different computers now, one of which is a very low powered Elonex webbook with a via CPU and 1gb RAM, up to my main computer which has a Intel Quad and 8gb RAM. I will say this for sure. Windows 7 runs, and it runs well on any hardware period.

Interesting Find, free stuff..

Ok, I know you thinking its a scam.. Well it’s not a scam but you do have to fill in alot of crap to get points.
Heres how it works.

1. You sign up
2. You fill in forms for companies do research etc, register for trial, whatever.
3. You get points a few days after.

It does take some time to get enough points to get good free stuff, but long run it works.

PC: Sims 3 update error: i/o operation failed (attribute modification)

Ok, I have been getting this alot in our workshop. The PC game by EA (Electronic Arts), The Sims 3 does not update and gives the following error on Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7.

Heres how you fix it…

1. Disable your antivirus/firewall (Kaspersky, Avast, Avg, Norton, Mcafee, Etc).
2. Now install that update.

It turns out that the way to old style patch system works that EA though so hard about using for the last 50 years, has problems with almost all security packages due to the way it changes files. Most security packages will detect that action as odd and protect the files being patched. Simply turning off your AV until the patch has completed will let you update your game.

On a side note, please remember to re-enable your protection after.

Code Snippet Bug

I have fixed the small bug in the code snippet plugin that prevented snippets showing correctly.
